PROMISES OF THE FIELDS.
CORN GREATLY IMPROVED BY THE
RECENT RAINS.

Less than an Average Yield Expected
However, in Consequence of the
Late Drought-Cotton Improved in
the Western Part of the Belt-Too
Much Rain in the Carolinas
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Following is the
weather crop bulletin of the signal office for
the week ending Aug. 20:
During the week ending Aug. 20 it has
been slightly warmer than usual throughout
the Southern States and the Ohio valley,
and cooler than usual throughout the lake
region and the upper Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys, the average daily temperature
in the last named district ranging from g to
A. below normal. In New England, the Mid.
die Atlantic States, and on the Pacific
coast the temperature differed but slightly
from the normal The daily average tenn
perature for the season from Jan. | to Aug.
20, has ranged from l. to g above
the normal in the central valleys, and 1t has
been slightly cooler than usual at stations
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and from
Lake Superior westward to Montreal.
THE RAINFALL
During the week the rainfall has been in
excess generally throughout the corn and
tobacco regions, and in the northeast por-
ton of the cotton region and in Northern
New England, while there has been less
than the usual amount Of rain in the lower
Mississippi valley, on the Middle and South
Atlantic coast, in Arkansas and the South
ern portions of Missouri and Kansas, and
from Lake Superior westward to Dake-
tn. Well distributed rains have oc-
CURED throughout the drought region,
and the o'clock reports this morning
show that rain continues in this section.
The large deficiency in the rainfall for the
season, ranging from five to fifteen inches
in the Mississippi valley has been slightly
reduced In the Northern States and aug
mented in the Southern States during the
past week, the only sections reporting an ex-
cess of rainfall for the season being North
ern New England, the central portions of
the Middle Atlantic States, Southern Das
kota and the North Pacific coast.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The weather for the week has been favor
able throughout the corn belt, the recent
! rains having greatly improved the condi-
tion of that crop, but owing to the lateness
of the rain in the principal corn producing
States, the yield will probably be below the
average.
In the cotton region from Alabama west
ward to Texas, the weather for the week
has improved the crop conditions, and the
cotton harvest is progressing, but more
rain would benefit the crop in the central
portion OF Arkansas. In North and South
Carolina an excess of rainfall for the week
is reported as unfavorable for the cotton
crop.
The weather has been generally favorable
for all crops in Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir-
ginia, and in the Middle Atlantic and New
England States
In Minnesota the uncut crops were inn
proved and harvested crops damaged by the
rains.

NExICO'S ABORIGINES.
! Status of the Last Aztec Emperor
Unveiled at the Capital.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 2l.-The unveil-
ing of the statue of Cuanhotomoc, the last
OF the Aztec Emperors, this morning, was
an occasion of unusual interest and signif-
cance. Very few Mexicans of Spanish de-
scent were present, but thousands of In
dians, many of whom came from miles
around the capital, bringing with them
great quantities of flowers, attended
the ceremony When President Diaa un-
upon the pedestal in such profusion as
almost to hide it. The event shows that the
Indians cherish the memories Of their anccs-
tors patriotic struggles against the Span
lards at the time of the conquest. An adj
dress in the Aztec language was delivered
by francesca del Pazo.

HOT WEATHER HINTS.
Some of the Good Things which Bos-
tonianS Relish.

CONlalS hollSQ.
BosToN, Aug. 20.-The extreme heat has
made us think of everything that may tend
to make US more comfortable. Our raiment
is the first consideration. l saw the other
day such delightful robe that. was the very
perfection for these days. 1t was made of
white china silk, the coolest fabric ever in
vented made with a yoke and very full
skirt: in other words, it was like Mother
Hubbard, only it trained on the ground and
was loosely confined at the waist by a silver
rirdie; there were wide flowing sleeves The
lady who wore it was very attractive and
looked like the picture Of priestess. All
her underclothing was OF the same material.
or course, no corset was worn; she looked
and was perfectly cool A great preventive
of flies, and it is also cooling to the air, is to
have small blocks of ice III fancy dishes over
which carbolic acid is poured set about an
apartment.
The Bosuonians are fond of odd novelties
of the table. A favorite dessert of theirs
is to hollow out a block of ice and place
within cubes of muskuclon. 1t is cut up
in tho morning, placed in the ice, COW
cred with a block of ice and served at
q O'Clock dinner Over this frozen melon is
sprinkled sherry and powdered sugar.
Brown bread ice cream is "a favorite Boston
dish The brown bread is permitted TO be-
come stale it is then grated into the usual
ingredients for ice cream and is delicious.
Huckeberry ice cream is also appetizing
and looks pretty. Ii makes an ice cream
almost black and is a novelty. Huckleberry
griddle cakes for breakfast and fried sliced
bananas are favorite dishes with the wealthy
Bostonians, as are also stewed red currants.
Almost all fresh fruits are cooked as break
fast dishes, and stewed cucurnbers never
prove injurious, while they are an attract
I've dish.
They also keep at hand to sip all day an
ice pitcher filed with cream Of tartar water
sweetened This not only cools the blood
but is a wonderful nervine, as the French
know, who invariably sip sweetened water.
II people will use ordinary precautions
not to over-exert, and will coniine them
selves TO these articles Of food that are non
heat producing and do not allow the slight
est pressure of the clothing on the body,
they may defy even the Thermometer among
the ninaties. EVELYN BAKER HARvIER.

A. few years ago little book fell into

certain prominent business man, from
which it appeared that, as with most
Americans, too close attention to business
had broken his health. The doctor SAID he
could not live. He then stated that he used
n certain article which effectually cured
him, and "out of gratitude for his own re-
covery he determined to devote portion
of his fortune to spreading its merits be-
fore the world"

THE GARFIELD FAMILY.
A Glimpse at the Handsome Home .
Mentor and It's Occupants.

A Glimpse mt the Handsome Home ~
Mentor and It's Occupants.
In five years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
children Of whom the father was so
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun course in the CO.
lumbia College Law School, and Harry,
the elder, has been teaching in some
Eastern school. Both are graduates of
Williams College. James X. Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
upon by friends of his father as tina
son most like him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion,
eyes and manner. Both SONS are now
men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter,
is now young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons,
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin Mcdowell old
enough to enter school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education Of
Abram and Irwin III the Cleveland
Mblic schools the mother has had no
nrther desire to live in city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added TO the modest frame house of
her husband II "Quecn Anne" structure
| which cost $50, 1000. 1t is the most inn
| posing home III the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly sub.
servient to the old house in which the
| President lived. This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remodeled to conform with
the addition. A $4,000 addition to a
| IS, 600 house is curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the
past and its illustrious dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms in
both new and old houses. They re
all furnished in modern style and with
considerable elegance, and there is an
air of aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his own
home. Although the house is far in
the country it has all the convenience:
of a city home-in plumbing, gas-iit
ting and steam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored or
the farm, and the yard is kept lighted
day and night. The main entrance il
through the old house. In the hal
facing the door is "Grandma" Gar

Australian paptr RS just received announce
the award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTMAN, MILLEH & Co., of Akron, o., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder,
as the result of the National field trial held

the Melbourne Argus Of December l6, 1885,
giving particulars of the contest, will be Of
interest. The Argus says:
The field trial OF reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
inst, on Mr.. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from Shepparton Owing to the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all dl.
rections being ripe, the attendance of farm

was taken in the proceedings. AS at the
machine first, Mccormick second and the
Woods third; the "Buckeye' representa-

demanded field trial as provided by the
protest; SO the prizes We're held over pond.
Ing the field trial The crop was ripe

none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jolting over the hard clods
was tolerably severe on rorses, machines
and drivers. Two o'clock " IS the hour fixed
for the trial, but as the "Buckeye'' was the
only machine then ready, delay was
caused by the Hornsby and MCCORMICK
experts giving their machines pre-
umlnary run IN Tue ADJOINING Dl0ck OF crop,
and a start was not made until a quarter
past three. The five judges gave great at
tention to their duties, and were ably Sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary, Mr.. Harold
B. TURNKEY. About two acres were allotted
to each machine. and they finished in
the following order: Buckeye" hour 10
minutes; Hornsby, 1 hour 10 minutes; !;
Mccormick, ! hour 20 minutes. The two
latter machines were drawn by three
horses each, while two lighter horses
worked the ''Buckeye" binder with equal
ease. The decision of the judges was based
on the following scale Of points:
